I have a question to all those who've bought an AS with a bed that's smaller than a queen,

Some assumptions,
Exclude AS's with twins.
Assume you have a partner that you sleep with.
Assume at home you have a larger bed like a king or queen.
Assume that both adults are at over 5.5 and of normal, (American diet)weight-wise.

I would think that sleeping in the 23footer would be VERY cozy. Not that I donít love mah wife n all but thatís really cozy. OK for a nite maybe two but after that I needs mah space.

To me Iím thinking Iím gonna need either a minimum of a 25 footer with a queen or a twin.

How do you all who own these guys deal with such cozy conditions?

I had a broker tell me that AS has become very adept in their design of the spaces with double beds and people donít feel as cramped as you would think. Ida know, Ö still seems very cramped.

Or does the dominant partner get the double bed and the other partner get the bed thatís made from the table

We have the 19' Bambi and it's the same bed in the 23'. It is cozy but I'm 5'8" @160 and my better half is 6'2" @150 and we fit just fine. It is a pain to crawl over to get out of bed but it is "camping" sort of. go look at the different sizes and lay on the beds to see if will work for you. I will say making it is a pain but there again not that bad.

The 23FB has the same size bed as the 25FB (60x 75) according to the published floorplans and my memory when we looked at a 23FB before buying our 25 Eddie Bauer. The bed works fine for us. The only difference I recall on the 23FB is that there is less walk around room for the bed.

Just for grins next time you're all settled in bed, take a measurement as to how much room you both require, laying next to each other Also make note of how much length you require when your comfortable. There is this stigma that stays the bigger the bed the more comfortable you are, just like the more you eat the better you feel. In both cases it's less than you think.

If comfort when sleeping together is crucial, get a 23FB - as mentioned above, it has the same "queen" bed as the larger trailers.

My wife sleeps on the front couch and I sleep on the bed in our trailer. Since we're used to a king bed at home, sleeping together in the corner bed in our trailer isn't going to happen. It's ironic that the smallest trailer we've owned, a T@B teardrop, had the largest bed, a full king...

Ditto the wife sleeping on the other end of the trailer.
We have the walk around queen- a mistake in 20/20 hindsight- we should have gotten the twins for easier access/walk-through.
I snore- so- I sleep on the couch (I don't bother to fold it out- just sleep on it as-is).
My wife sleeps in the queen bed.
This arrangement works out for temperature control and watching television- we each have our own a/c and TV...

We have a 22' Argosy with the Full Gaucho Bed. We are very comfy with 2 dogs as well. The only issue I have is that when I get up at night, I have to crawl over her. It is annoying... Also, I should mention that in ours, both the gaucho and the dinette beds are Full size.

We also have the gaucho in our 66 Safari, and the nighttime calls are the only issue we have. Our next to be built 54 FC will have a full-time walk around bed in the back, and it was during that planning stage that we began to really examine what our sleep space requirements really are.
